   Interesting topic. …
   Interesting topic. I wish my college had a course like this. If you watch this video and are inspired I urge you to watch “The Secret” It’s a little different in that it involve quantum physics and positivity, but it’s good. Furthermore, Psychoneuroimmunology is really interesting in regards to finding a link between happiness and health…great study topic

   you dont need it to …
   you dont need it to be happy…

   The Problem is that you THINK you will be happy if youre eg. playing golf.

   With this Process of thinking “I will only be hapy if I do this and do that” makes you unhappy.

   Every Moment is able to make you happy without beeing on skiing or such things….

   And find a small thing wich makes you happy…

   You forgot that small things can make someone happy too. You are only Focused on the Big things witch costs a lot of money to practice.

   Sooo. find something!

   Being happy is not …
   Being happy is not easy. Change is not easy. I agree with you. But you can begin with small things in order to acheive your dream in time. Don’t be in a rush, and don’t imagine that it will come without lots of pain.

   Besides, thinking about happiness only in a materialistic way is not correct. We also have to work on and change our minds. They way we define happiness. The human is never satisfied anyway, so you’re not necessary going to be happy even with all the money of the world to do things

   *sigh* you seem to be talking about your own experience.
   Learning to fail does not garantee suceeding at learning. But learning requires efforts and failures. Considering failure as a soon to be success helps to accept it better. I think that’s what he meant.

   How can you be …
   How can you be happy when you know that you can’t do what you would love to do because you lack the money for it? (ex. world tours, playing golf, scubadiving, skiing) all need money.

   How can you be happy when there are many things you need in life to be happy?

   it’s not “learn to …
   it’s not “learn to fail or fail to learn. ” it’s “learn to fail and fail to learn. “

   I wish I could have enough money to attend Harvard. How can you be happy when you are born in a Commie country and having no money at all , Mr Shahar ?

    טל לא הצלחתי להבין מה חדש בכל השיטה? להתאמן פיזית, לחשוב חיובי, להתרכז בטוב ובמה שמצליחים וכו’ ממש כמו המון ספרים שקראתי בשנות ה90. ושלא תבין אני דווקא איש שמח באמת רק לא הבנתי מה הקטע החדש והמרעיש
    בהצלחה בכל מקרה מכל הלב עוד מקור לגאווה למדינת ישראל.
    כה לחי.

    This is an interesting trend. Not only at Harvard. Everyone in this world are caught in the gloom of the presiding social mood and they want happiness instead. I guess Tal is teaching people that happiness is a state of mind and to not only count your blessings, but focus on them.
